Pets! :D
Definitely getting Blade Sentry, maybe Grasping Hands, trying to talk myself out of the Lightning Scorpion... what are you guys getting? As a side note, I'd be fascinated to hear how much of an impact the multi-sales are having on the store. They must be raking it in. "VPs are not required to change their posting style.

Holy shit! 57 pets on sale this weekend.
Most shocking extreme prices are the last 2: Lightning Scorpion Pet at 800 points Weta Pet at 2 points Who would ever pay $80.00 USD for 1 pet? "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |

" You can come check out the lightning scorpion in my ho. In other news, just spent 1200points on this pet sale :D It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)

" I don't remember the exact price now but I think it's like $140 or $150 USD normally. I'm not a pet guy but I was looking at them randomly a while back and had quite a bit of sticker shock on that one myself. I was actually going to make a thread about the ridiculous price of it but figured it was old news. Crazy though, huh? At the regular price you have this choice: buy 2 brand new video games and take yourself out for a nice steak dinner or buy 1 pet in PoE. LOL.

" Must be nice to be wealthy. But even if I could afford extra bling there are just so many QoL features missing from PoE and such major balance problems that I'd not support that much. And don't even get me started on how shitty trade chat is with "seller is AFK" bullshit insanity. I finally ponied up $60.00 for the Legacy League Supporter Pack as I got an Albino Roah feather right out of the gate and later in Merc act 4 a Rogue LS that said it would drop a corrupted item dropped a 6L chest, followed a few days later by a Jack The Axe weapon and a nice shield to complete my Champion tank build and get me to level 90 in 77 days of casual playing. That was fun and worthy of supporting GGG, but otherwise it's been pretty much SSF starvation for my casual playing so I don't see GGG as deserving a super amount of financial support. Of course with such high RNG in PoE everyone's playing experience will vary. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

" According to the PoE Specials (ya there are 57 pets on sale... I had to add them all to the Daily Deals... fortunately I won't need to update them again until Tuesday) the normal price is 1100 points for that scorpion pet. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

" Agree POE isn't perfect. But it's the closest to perfection in the ARPG market and GGG is continuously improving on it. In my own small way, I'll like to see my support as an encouragement to them to keep on going :) Also agree everyone's experience and mileage vary so we should all support and pay for only what we think make sense.
